Abstract :
A medical record with multiservice performance is described. The package runs on MS-DOS and can be set up to share data via a local area network. The package is made of three units. A time-oriented medical record stores information about the patients and analyzes collected data. A drug-to-drug interaction program warns if prescribed drugs trigger any adverse interaction. A drug doser program helps to find out the posology of drugs. The three units are completely integrated. They can share information and each of them can be easily activated from the others. In some cases activation is automatic. The package is specialized for cardiac patients
